"There’s a misconception that instant oats are somehow inferior and steel-cut are the most nutritious. But whether you choose quick, old-fashioned, or steel cut oats, they all provide roughly the same nutrition: about 4 grams of fiber, 4-6 grams of protein per serving, and similar amounts of vitamins and minerals. And they’re all 100% whole grain, containing all parts of the oat. So buy the kind you like best." shares are blogger, Sally Kuzemchak is a registered dietitian. wb.md/3UvFKf3
